Summary
The kid's barely pulling down a paycheck, so giving him a ride is a kindness. A favor to both of them, really, solving Whitaker's transportation issue and Robby's need for a clean getaway all at once.
It's got nothing to do with the heat of him against Robby's back in the sticky July air. Nothing to do with the way he feels, arms tight around him, knees bumping Robby's hip as they weave through traffic.
Nothing to do with the way Robby's basest self, coming free of the trappings of expectation and responsibility, is thrilling to the idea that consequences don't matter.
If he's dining and dashing, he might as well indulge a craving. If he's punching his card, he might as well steal a few things for himself on his way out.

Summary
The first night after Robby leaves, Dennis sleeps in Robby's bed.
He tries not to think about it. It doesn't help that the sheets smell like Robby's laundry detergent, a smell Dennis doesn’t even know is familiar until he lays on the bed and the ghost of Robby rises up around him.
Something in his gut clenches tight and doesn't let go. He curls in on himself, breathing in deep for a long time. Lets the shame wash through him, the violence of the want, and doesn't move until it ebbs.
§
Dennis gets worried about Robby after he leaves. He has a few drinks and makes a call. Robby comes back.

Summary
Being good at details means he's pretty good at making sure none of his own details spill out into the open, even while he's cataloguing everyone else's.
And that sense he can't shut off, that thing that lives under his skin and watches and watches and watches? It is always tuned in to whatever frequency Robby is on.
He doesn't mean to notice. He absorbs the awareness, epidermis to dermis to bloodstream, the constriction that makes the hair stand up on the back of his neck.
§
Trinity throws a going-away party for Robby. Dennis puts together all the pieces of Robby he can’t stop noticing. Some bad decisions are made, for (hot) self-actualization reasons. Only the last chapter will be explicit.

Summary
“Hell of a shot," Raylan hears himself say, distantly.
"Pretty good at one or two things. Guess I'm lucky shooting's one of 'em."
Raylan's hand is still in Tim's hair. It's been there too long.
Tim's foot taps the corpse at their feet. "Not such a bad shot yourself. Double tap. Like the movies."
"What's the other thing?" Raylan asks.
"The other thing what?"
"The other thing you're good at?"
And Tim smiles. It's just one side of his mouth, just a hint of sharp teeth right there between barely parted lips.
§Tim and Raylan’s first time. And, it turns out, Raylan’s first time, for a couple of things. Brought on by adrenaline and the mindless sexual pull of competency.

Summary
Prince Dennis Targaryen, first of his name, was never meant to sit the Iron Throne.
Prince Dennis Targaryen, first of his name, became a Westerosi King of such legend that they spoke his name with reverence a thousand years on.
"Hello, little nephew," Robby says, voice low, looking down at him. "My. Haven't you grown."
He has. He flushes, just a touch. Robby, too, has changed. He looks older. A little more lined, just a little. He's kept the scruff that men seem to favour when on the battlefield, and it suits him. He looks like a terrible, dangerous King.

Summary
August, 1944-- European Theatre
112th Infantry Regimental Combat Team, AKA the “Bloody Bucket” DivisionIt is a little-known fact that, in war, there exist three sides: the attackers, the defenders, and the environment itself. Humans can be swayed by their emotions, but the Earth feels nothing for those waging war on her surface. The battlefield does not care who you are-- it swallows the faithful and the damned alike.
Dennis Whitaker still believes in saving people.
Colonel Robby knows better.Between the dying and the dead, prayers and exhaustion, and hands that refuse to stop reaching-- something fragile takes root.
But in a war that devours everything in its path, even hope can feel like a sin.
or
Dennis Whitaker never intended to enlist, as a medic or as a soldier. Now that he's here, though, he's going to save as many lives as possible, or die trying.
